Abstract:A windowless gas target cham her has been developed for the production of very thin, but uniform, targets to be used with accelerated charged particle beams. The target reaction chamber is appended to a cryostat which is capable of containing liquid helium as the primary refrigerant. The temperature of this chamber can be adjusted so that condensation of the gas in the vicinity of the beam path is minimized. The cryostat freezes out the gas which escapes the reaction chamber. To date, we have used this new cry… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
